Somebody Else (Has Got the Soul)

Man I used to have a lady
Who promised everything in the world
Promised she would never leave me
I was so smitten I believed her
We did everything together
We were so close inseparable
I never thought that it could happen
But one day the bubble burst
I went away for just a little while
And when I came I met her crying
You know what she said?
«You can take away the body; somebody else has got the soul»
How many tears of pain can I shed?
How many days will I be aching?
The magic’s surely gone forever
Now all I’ve got me is the shell
She took me in her arms crying
Stole my peace with just a few words
You know what she said?
«You can take away the body; some other man has got the soul»
I’ll get the rhythm back by and by
I’ll find the balm to heal the wound
From the words that she said:
You can take away the body; somebody else has got the soul
